Cottage vacation rentals in Sandbanks

We've had a lovely week in this beautiful house in the heart of new forest. The host welcomed us and showed us around & how everything works which was a lovely touch from their side! The house is well equipped with literally everything you could possibly need. Huge bonus for having a hot tub, bbq, basketball, badminton! We've had lovely walks and be able to see the donkeys, horses, deers, bunny rabbits - just had the best time enjoying nature. Pub is also in a walkable distance or a short drive. We felt very safe during our stay. Would wholeheartedly recommend for those who wants some peace and quiet surrounded by nature.

We couldn't have wished for a nicer stay in the New Forest! The cottage is equipped everything you need, is located in beautiful surroundings with ample cycling routes nearby, and has a hot tub as an added bonus. Cindy and Lina are super accommodating and attentive hosts. We will most definitely be returning!

We had a great stay here. Lovely lodge and beautiful surroundings. Would definitely visit again and recommend to others.

We have just spent the Easter weekend at this wonderful cottage - 4 adults and 2 children under 6 years old, and I have to say that Joel & Gaby’s place near the new forest is absolutely fabulous. Very spacious and ideal if you are looking for a getaway with a hot tub and table tennis in the garden. The cottage is in a great location, about 10 min drive to Paultons Park with peppa pig world so an absolute must for kids. It’s also not far from the new forest itself and Lyndhurst town. It was really tidy & clean, with a well equipped kitchen and bathrooms stocked with fresh towels. We were left a lovely gift on arrival of fresh bread, milk, eggs and a bottle of Prosecco which was an absolute treat! I couldn’t recommend this cottage more - thank you Joel & Gaby we had a fabulous time and would stay again in future.

The hosts were helpful from the moment we booked our stay. We were given clear instructions on where to arrive and were greeted as soon as we pulled into the carpark. They explained all the necessary information and answered all of our questions and were very helpful. They were always available if we had any queries and gave plenty of local recommendations for food and activities. We would 100% recommend and would be more than happy to book again.

We had a fab stay, thank you! Hot tub first thing in the morning next to a field of donkeys and ponies catching the morning light - what more could you want?? We had a lovely, relaxing stay here. Family of 4. Kids aged 7 & 9. The outdoor sandpit & play equipment would be more suited to younger kiddies but our two still enjoyed them & they were just happy with the jacuzzi really. The owners were very welcoming and informative. Gave some good recommendations… Esme’s tea rooms in Brockenhurst was one of them. Yum! Best scotch eggs and cake selection ever! Would have given 5 stars, but the decor could do with a little refresh & kitchen equipment was a bit of a mish mash. Bring your own salt and pepper, sugar and tea, too. Hand soap and washing up liquid was provided.

We had a really great stay, and wouldn’t hesitate to rebook and recommend to others. The location was really perfect for what we wanted. Chrissie is a brilliant host, she has really thought of everything and her instructions were clear. We didn’t need any help so Chrissie left us to enjoy our stay in peace but if we did need anything we were reassured that she would be responsive. Communication was great. Loved the hot tub and wood burner.

We have had a wonderful stay . Julia and James are fantastic hosts , always there to help and offer guidance. The cottage was fabulous. Very quirky , cosy and unexpectedly quiet (due to the central location) . We slept incredibly well. My husband especially enjoyed sitting in the garden in the evening with a glass of wine listening to the water feature. We didn’t use the garden room as only 4 of us but looking to book next year as it would be a great room for the grandparents. Thank you so much James and Julia. We had the best stay and can’t wait to be back. Ruth

Thank you for opening your home for our family. We had a lovely stay. Great location with gorgeous views. Care package of Milk, sugar, tea, coffee & biscuits was lovely. Had a lovely weekend in Lulworth Cove. Seafield house was cosy well equipped & clean, really easy to find and gain access and a small stroll to local shop, pubs , chip shop coffee shops and the cove. Perfect for families & great for long walks. A little worn in places but homely. 1 recommendation would be change pillows they were old flat & worn. If you plan on eating dinner out be sure to book ahead not lots of options & gets very busy. Castle Inn Pub was the best restaurant for dinner & Finleys fish & chips were delicious 😋

Could not fault anything about this stay. The cottage was beautiful the beds were so comfy and the view was amazing highly recommend will definitely be back.

Really lovely, cosy and clean stay! They made it extra special by leaving us some local treats in the house, cheese, jams, bread etc. Perfect location with forest walks right outside the gate. Would highly recommend!!

Nicole’s place was ideal for a spring break, property was fantastic 5 minute walk into the village, and 5 minutes walk into the magnificent forest to walk the dog in the morning. Highly recommend gardeners retreat. Ideal to get away and relax yet have enough on your doorstep to keep you entertained.

Absolutely lovely cottage, very welcoming. At a great location, next to the fabulous km-long Trialway that we walked up and down with our dog. Even better than on the photo’s! Thankful for the hospitality and great gem.

An ideal location for an extended stay and enjoyable holidays. The Foxhill reception and attentive service is excellent Nothing is too much trouble and Dairy cottage is equipped with everything you need.

A beautiful cottage, exactly as described and in a truly wonderful location. An immense amount of different walks to enjoy to the sea and the pub in Worth Matravers! Ian is a fantastic host and extremely attentive although we had no need to contact him during our stay other than to say thanks. An ideal cosy location for two and a dog.

This was a charming place to stay. It’s well equipped and there were thoughtful touches, such as leaving some logs and kindling for the fire aswell as bread, milk, jam, tea etc. It suited our purposes perfectly as we were visiting friends who lived in the area. I’m sure we’ll be back.

We had a wonderful stay at Diana's cottage. Communication was smooth and straightforward from the beginning, she was always responsive and helpful. The cottage itself was exactly as described: clean, peaceful, and full of charm. It has a warm and cosy atmosphere that made us feel at home. The surroundings are quiet and relaxing, perfect for a restful getaway, and the local pub serves nice food and drinks. Our sons enjoyed the small park beneath the school to play ball and there are plenty of options to go for a walk or run in the village and its surroundings. One thing to keep in mind is the low ceiling beams in the living room (as mentioned in the description). Also, the shower cubicle is on the smaller side, with a height of around 1.90 m, which might be a slight challenge for taller guests, but this is really a minor inconvenience in an otherwise lovely space. All in all, a delightful place to stay, and we would happily return!

We had a lovely short break at Michael's cottage. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable with everything we needed and Michael was very helpful with check in and out. Aided by some glorious weather we enjoyed some of the many fantastic walks in the surrounding area including some just a 5 minute walk from the cottage.

I would highly recommend staying at Sandra's beautiful cottage. It is so well equipped, comfortable and cosy - a real home from home - and idea for long and short stays. Everything was immaculate and the bed and sofas were so comfy. And Cookie loved the dog bed and bowls that were provided. Sandra has provided lots of ideas for trips and places to eat locally. We will definitely return!

A beautiful cosy cottage - lovely touches throughout and everything we, as a (fairly) young family, needed. All the rooms are gorgeous and it was very clean on arrival too. Loved the garden - all very peaceful. Great location too, just a short walk into town. Loved it 👍👍👍

The stay was peaceful and awesome. The resort had a plethora of activities to offer and keep you entertained. The Woodland Cottage was the perfect blend of countryside luxury and a cozy home. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a well rounded experience through the countryside.

Fantastic stay in Corfe as always, central location, beautiful property. Spotlessly clean. Lots of walks from the door and pubs! When due to personal circumstances we weren’t able to go away on the week we had booked Kate bent over backwards to help us find a suitable alternative, grateful for her kindness.

Amazing little cottage, peaceful surroundings, sat and drank tea outside every Morning listening to the birds, really well located to get to the coast and other local attractions, didnt want to leave will be back

We really enjoyed our time in Sway and would recommend this as a great apartment and location to stay in. Communication before, during and after our stay was great, with the hosts answering any questions that we had. The accommodation was spotless throughout and was really well furnished. We would highly recommend for anyone looking to visit the area.
